The Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology posted Gwinnett County’s highest graduation rate with 98.9 percent of it’s seniors earning a diploma this year.

It was followed in 2015 by North Gwinnett High School, at 93.2 percent; and Brookwood High at 92.5, according to numbers just released by the Georgia Department of Education.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution received the numbers Monday morning and will post school-by-school scores as we sift through them. Check in on myajc.com later this morning as we begin to post what we know so far.

It was good news for Georgia generally, as nearly four out of five of the freshmen who started in 2011 graduated last spring. The 78.7 percent graduation rate is 6.2 percentage points higher than the rate for the class of 2014. That is a large increase, considering that the 2014 rate was less than a fraction of a percentage point higher than the year before.
